Over het wijnhuis | Château Vray Croix de Gay is een klein wijnhuis met een totale oppervlakte aan wijngaarden van nog geen 4 hectare, verdeeld over verschillende percelen in Pomerol. Het grootste perceel zit ingeklemd tussen Château Petrus en Château Lafleur, dus dat zegt wel wat over de kwaliteit van dit domein. Jean Claude Berrouet, voormalig wijnmaker van Petrus, is sinds 2014 bij het château betrokken als consultant. |

Awards | "A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Vray Croix de Gay has 14.1% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it gives up wonderfully pure notes of black and red cherries, mulberries and fresh blackberries, plus suggestions of licorice, lavender and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and refreshing with soft, approachable tannins and a perfumed finish. A very pretty, polished Pomerol!" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "This is dark-fruited with spices, walnut, pine cones and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with polished texture and fine-grained tannins. Silky with a delicate blue fruit and chocolatey character. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2025." - James Suckling "75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Certified organic. Savoury and meaty on the nose, the dark fruit more apparent on the palate. Smooth and opulent on attack then tightens to a long, linear finish. Juicy and delicious but focused and persistent. Looks to have potential. (JL)" - James Suckling "The 2020 Vray Croix de Gay has developed into a gorgeous, exotic Pomerol. Super-ripe red fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and cedar all come together effortlessly. This racy, layered Pomerol is stylish and classy to the core. The 2020 offers a bit more depth than some recent vintages, but that works to its advantage. Ripe, silky tannins wrap around the soft, textured finish." - Vinous "Juicy and plump, lots of plum and fig as well as a medicinal herbal edge. Ripe fruit flavours but the texture and frame are quite lean still with freshness and a cool blue fruit element as well as appealing minerality with crushed stone, pencil lead and slate. Really well worked, it's not there yet, but this has great potential." - Decanter |
